What impact has the drama had on television?

Drama has become emblematic of quality on some of the networks, or it has given a face and a personality to what all of their fare has to offer. One example is Friday Night Lights on NBC. Friday Night Lights is not a show with high ratings; NBC renewed it because of the tremendous love for it among the fans as well as the critical acclaim. Drama is beloved by networks or featured by networks partly just as a matter of business, but it's also a matter of identity in some cases.
